How to Extract in Utorrent
UTorrent itself does not actually extract files. UTorrent downloads torrent files, which are special files used to download data via other users that have the same data. UTorrent opens the torrent files and connects to other users that have the same file, then uses their Internet connections to help increase the download speed of your file. The files you download in uTorrent may be various different types of archive files that need to be extracted with a separate application.
